I don't know all of the answers but something doesn't make sense. I've tried to find out more about KMOS but they seem to be non-existant. No website, no other references to them on the net other than the Amiga.com press release. What kind of company doesn't have a web presence?
Taken from the press release at
amiga.com they state KMOS is a corporation, which formed in Deleware.
KMOS, Inc. a State of Delaware licensed corporation develops and distributes enabling technology, software applications and specialty content to the wired and wireless communication market.
If you go to the Delaware Secretary of state site
here and type KMOS into the search engine.
We find out when the corporation was formed:
Incorporation Date / Formation Date: 10/07/2003
(note/disclaimer: I don't know if this is the same KMOS as in the interview so I may be wrong. But it is the only KMOS Inc. registered in Delaware according to the Secratery of State Site)
October 7th, 2003? How can you build up a successful business in just 5 months?
Well, maybe they were a private business until then. This quote casts some doubts (for me) on that.
Garry: Good question. I asked it myself. Corporate documents needed to be filed while I was in Asia. I returned home to find that the Company, that I had agreed to build, was named KMOS. Like many of you, I asked what's a KMOS, what does it mean? I was told it is sort of like Xerox, it doesn't mean anything but with use will become a positive brand. I pointed out that Edsel (an old auto brand) also didn't mean anything and it went bankrupt. I hated the name. I lost.
I'm sure it was a seperate company that asked him to be CEO when they incorporated. Still, there are too many wierd things going on to not really trust KMOS. The interview clears up some stuff and I hope they are legit. The Amiga brand needs a definate and good shot in the arm to boost it up. :-?
